The agreement between Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village was reached, but Mizuki was not very clear about the specific content. From the situation, it seems that Tsunade did not try to get too much benefit from Ōnoki, and the cooperation between the two villages was just superficial, barely staying at the level of information trading and regular visits. It is unrealistic to expect two villages that rarely interacted with each other to become closer all of a sudden.

The relationship between the ninja villages has become more peaceful, but the major ninja villages are preparing for war. After more than ten years of peace, the major ninja villages except the Hidden Cloud Village have reduced their war potential. When the threat comes again, it is natural to prepare for war. No one dares to be sure whether they can stay out of trouble in this turbulent era.

The Konoha Village, which is loose inside but tight outside, still seems to be harmonious now. However, from Tsunade's promotion of young ninjas, it can be known that Konoha is about to start the war machine.

At present, no one will bother Mizuki with some small matters. He can instruct Kiba Inuzuka, teach Hinata Hyuga medical ninjutsu, observe the progress of Haruno Sakura's training, and most importantly, wait for his daughter to be born.

It is hard to describe the feeling of having a child for the first time in two lives. The life that you have been accustomed to for a long time suddenly has a child who needs to be taken care of, which may change your original lifestyle. From being single to a couple to a family of three, in more than a year, these magical changes make people feel a sense of urgency.

My daughter hasn't been born yet, but she will be born at any moment.

Although he didn't know how other people would feel about becoming a father, Shuimu himself didn't worry as much as others said. Although he convinced himself countless times that he was ready, in reality, it was just like that. It was not Shuimu's style to shout with excitement, and his image was a bit broken.

What Shuimu felt most deeply was that Xiaochun was even calmer than himself. It seemed that Xiaochun had no signs of being ill-tempered, irritable, depressed, etc., as common sense would have it. Except for being easily tired and taking a little longer to rest, there were basically no bad changes. Therefore, Shuimu could rest assured to go out for a walk in his spare time.

"Are you very dissatisfied?"

As the head of the security department, it was a rare occasion for him to invite his subordinates to a party. After drinking a little wine, Nara Shikaku, a senior husband and father, spoke in the tone of a senior educating a junior.

"Be content! What do you think, Kakashi?"

Kakashi, who was reading a novel, saw that the topic was brought to him, so he spared Rao's head and replied awkwardly: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about, but Mizuki, in my opinion, you are showing off!"

Discussing whether your wife is virtuous or not in front of single young people is the greatest malice.

"Did you hear that?"

Nara Shikaku patted Mizuki's shoulder.

"If you want to ask for advice on parenting in the future, you still have to learn from your predecessors!"

"Really?"

Seeing the drunk Nara Shikaku boasting about his parenting experience, Mizuki couldn't help but smile. How could an uncle who didn't even know his son had passed the Chunin Exam and was drinking outside still have the nerve to support his juniors? As members of the Ino-Shika-Chou, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza were also worried about Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji.

The difference between people is really huge!

However, when Shuimu thought that he would become this uncle in the future, he felt distressed.

"I think I'm still young and don't need to be too anxious!"

"No, you're not young anymore, Mizuki. A ninja who has children has nothing to do with the word young!"

Kakashi actually agreed with what Nara Shikaku said and kicked Mizuki out of his companion camp without hesitation.

Kakashi's rare teasing made Mizuki laugh. This guy who laughed at others probably didn't expect that he might still be single for many years!

After chatting for a while, Nara Shikaku also got down to business.

"After half a year, the Security Department is finally back on track. It's not easy!"

Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand how difficult it is to set up a department from scratch, especially such a large organization involving all the villagers.

The authority and management scope of the Security Department are really too large, involving many aspects. It can be said to be the largest department in Konoha Village at present.

Don't judge the overall layout of the security department by the number of people in Mizuki's team. The first team led by Mizuki is a bit special, and there is a reason why it is short of manpower. In fact, the entire security department is composed of the children of the big and small families in the village, supplemented by civilian ninjas and newly promoted Chunin. Although the number of elites is not as good as that of the Anbu, and even inferior to the "Root" organization led by Shimura Danzo, the overall strength has far exceeded them. It can be said that Nara Shikaku directly leads most of the standing forces of Konoha Village.

For a semi-military organization like the Ninja Village, you cannot forcibly divide the civil and military parts. The Security Department is now the military force of Konoha Village in the sun.

From this, we can imagine how powerful the Uchiha family once was. Even without the current support from the entire village from top to bottom, they are definitely not weak. Having the courage to overthrow the village is definitely not an unwise and reckless act without any guarantee.

From another perspective, if Orochimaru and the Sand Village had had such a unified organizational defense when they implemented the Konoha collapse plan, the trauma the village suffered a year ago would definitely not have been so severe.

Several subordinates, including Kakashi Hatake and Mizuki, are not very concerned about mundane affairs, while several captains and squad leaders also represent the face of their respective families.

"It's rare for Minister Nara to be serious!"

"It's a business meeting after all!"

The Minister said, revealing his lazy nature again for a moment.

"The whole village has entered a stable stage. Let's all work hard next..."

As one of the few high-ranking ninjas who knew the inside story, Mizuki had also heard that Tsunade intended to assign Hyuga Hiashi and Nara Shikaku to the Administrative Department to balance the power of the two elders. However, the matter was still being planned, so it could only be said that there was such an intention.

The person who will take over the post of the head of the Security Department is likely to be Hatake Kakashi. As for Mizuki, there are two arrangements for the time being: one is to be transferred to the Anbu as the captain, leading an independent assassination team, specializing in dealing with various dangerous rebellious ninjas and assassinating designated enemies. The Anbu has no head, or the head is concurrently held by the Hokage, and each team directly obeys Tsunade.

Another possibility is to take over as Deputy Minister of Security.

There is not much difference between what these two positions do. The duties of the Deputy Minister of the Security Department are also to eliminate internal threats and hunt down wanted criminals, but the Anbu is a secretive assassination, while the Security Department is an open hunt.
